Everything about Earth was strange and surreal. The idea that worlds beyond the Gorgon Empire, populated by pink-skinned bipedal creatures, even existed had been a mind blowing notion to a younger Mortella, but now she was standing in a room full of vastly different life forms, on a planet vastly different from her home. Whereas the other arrivals stood on two legs or sat in tacky plastic chairs, Mortella was coiled across the cold stone floor, her scaley green tail spread out behind her. She was a well-built young girl, with a thick waist and broad shoulders. A writhing mass of hissing serpents thrashed about in the tangled mess above her head, and her greenish flesh shone dimly beneath the flickering warehouse lights. Mortella waited wordlessly whilst the blue creature sassed the group, keeping her thoughts strictly within her own head. It was only when the time to choose a mission emerged that she finally spoke up. [i][b][color=1a7b30]“I’m in the mood to sample some terran hedonism. I’ll go for the Casino.” [/color][/b][/i]
